Seems a little unlikely, to me. I suspect they are aiming to identify and target some aspect of the virus that doesn’t mutate, a string of unchanging DNA or something, but whilst I’d welcome the resulting vaccine, it strikes me that those pesky flu viruses will outsmart us in the end. I’d put money on it, except for the fact that I probably wouldn’t be around to collect my winnings 😉

Yes, the movie rocked! Will Smith puts his all into a character as always. I love that guy! I have never read a scifi book, but hubby usually has one in hand he is always reading something. I watch the movies and he gives me the run down on how it really happened in the book. He says I, Robot was totally different than the book, but the movie was still entertaining.

I was quite disappointed with I, Robot. I could imagine Asimov turning in his grave. It was entertaining enough, and not knowing Asimov and the 3 laws probably helped with most people, but as a long term fan thereof (and particularly of the Susan Calvin series), I was quite disappointed. And Susan Calvin was transformed into a mere cypher character, background noise for Will Smith, which irked me. She’s not exactly a likeable character in the original incarnation, but she is strongly drawn and believable, as opposed to the film version.

Plus, of course, there is the fact that I, Robot was a collection of loosely-connected short stories rather than a single narrative.
